Spending time at home doesn't mean giving up style. In this guide, we tell you which pajamas and robes to choose this winter, and how to combine them.
Why men's homewear is no longer just old pajamas
For years, "loungewear" meant an old t-shirt and worn-out sweatpants. That has changed.
Men's homewear has become a category of its own. It combines the comfort of pajamas with cuts and fabrics designed to look good. The difference is in the details: well-cut pajamas, a structured robe, a warm fabric that doesn't sacrifice elegance.
This matters for two practical reasons. The first is remote work: many video calls are made from home, and clothes influence how you feel. The second is that having guests over no longer forces you to change clothes to "be presentable."
Winter pajamas: key pieces
Classic-cut modal pajamas. Modal is a soft-to-the-touch fabric with good drape. It works well for those looking for comfortable, open-collar pajamas without sacrificing a neat appearance.
Striped velvet pajamas. Velvet provides extra warmth in colder months. It's the right choice for those who prioritize comfort at home above all else, without neglecting style with its striped pattern.
Robes: the piece that completes the look
A robe isn't just for after a shower. It's the outer layer that puts the finishing touch on a winter home look.
Short herringbone robe. Practical hip-length cut, in gray herringbone fabric. Zipper closure, easy to put on and take off. Ideal for moving around the house without hindrance.
Long robe with shawl collar. For those who prefer a full-length robe, with more coverage and a more elegant feel. The shawl collar and belt give it a more formal look, also suitable if you have guests.
How to combine to be presentable on a video call
The camera only shows you from the waist up, but the complete outfit influences how you move and feel.
Two combinations that work:
- Plain modal pajamas + short herringbone robe, for a sober look in neutral tones.
- Striped velvet pajamas + long robe with shawl collar, if you want a more refined look for early morning.
Avoid combining multiple prints at once: on screen, they can be distracting and look less refined than they are in person.
Fabric care in winter
Modal and cotton with velvet require different care than basic pajamas. Always wash in cold water and avoid high-speed spinning to preserve the soft feel of both fabrics.
